Yes it is. I mostly do DX hunting, and around 10 to 15% of my QSOs have
been in F/H mode. Normally, I never respond to CQs from band-entities that
I already have confirmed on LoTW. If someone calls me while I'm working DX,
I will respond, but that requires turning off F/H mode before doing so. A
checkbox would make that easier. I certainly select or unselect F/H mode
more often than Hold Tx Freq or Call 1st, and there are checkboxes for
those.

As I pointed out, it wouldn't clutter the screen. There is ample room for
several more checkboxes.

screen. It's just a difference in operating style.

It was just a suggestion. Some people are not open to suggestions.
